In FL we had a webcam on a pair of nesting Bald Eagles which was great to watch, offline now waiting until fall and nesting season again.  Also at Sebring this year there was a nest with a hawk right smack dap in the middle of everything...what a show they had that week!

Amazing, wish we could come over and watch the race this weekend but we played out of town last weekend so will have to have watch from home.

Some fun stuff going on here.  Agreed Raptors are lovely to watch, the original fighter pilots.  Went to a local raptor rehab once and held a Great Horned Owl, obviously had on long thick arm, and hand protection and the sheer power of this bird as it was clutching my extended arm was amazing.  Bald Eagles may be the most beautiful of all, my sister during her tenure in Alaska said there were so many of them in the appropriately named, Eagle Creek area, that they were almost a pest.

Amazing and F-troop mom,

Sorry I didn't get back to you guys sooner. I live in Southwest Orange County near Dr. Phillips/Windermere. Usually I'm at LeMans but knee surgery has kept me back this year. I used to work for Alex Job Racing in the early - mid nineties and drove my own Spec Racer Ford in the SCCA. Since Alex no longer runs ALMS I've had to start pulling for the Flying Lizards. Now I'm too out-of-shape to be fit to drive anymore and work and family obligations have really cut down on my racing time. Are you going to Petite LeMans? Maybe we could get hooked up there.

Thanks for the invite to gather and watch the race. I wish I could've made it. Let's try and get hooked up at Sebring, love the F-troop band concerts,  or Road Atlanta if it all works out.
